Bluetooth hotspot

Setting up a Bluetooth proximity hotspot is relativly easy to do. The difficulty is letting people know that there is one close by. The typical way of telling people is by placing the unit within a poster unit and advertising on the poster that a bluetooth hotspot exists. This is the simple way of making people aware. Why have a bluetooth hotspot and not use it in conjunction with a poster unit to tell people via their mobile that the bluetooth hotspot exists.
